A few weeks ago, Laura mentioned the EBS, and it stuck with me. It ended up back on my to-do list this week, so this afternoon I carved out some time to revisit something we’ve had in place for a while… our “Meals in a Bag.” I figured I’d share this in case it sparks an idea for you or adds another layer to your own preparedness. Let me preface this first… These are not our everyday meals. They’re not replacing our fresh from scratch meals, pre-made freezer meals from bulk cooking days, or our rotating pantry. These are for: - the weeks when life just life’s - unexpected emergencies - power outages (which, in our area, happen more often than I’d like) I’d consider these our 3rd or 4th line of defense. We’ll also pull from them if we happen to be out of something in the freezer or pantry, but that’s not their primary purpose. So what are “Meals in a Bag”? Each bag contains everything needed to make a full meal, pre-portioned and grouped together so there’s: - no thinking - no digging through cabinets - no “what are we even making tonight?" You just grab the bag and go. What we’re focusing on Right now, we’re primarily stocked with: - Lunch options - Dinner options And then a few backup breakfast items like: - SPAM - Freeze-dried eggs - Hashbrowns Nothing fancy. Just practical. The unexpected benefit This has pushed us to think beyond our kitchen. By building these out, we’ve also had to consider: How would we actually cook these if the power is out? So we’ve tested (or planned for): - Gas grill - Charcoal - Jetboil - Open fire And now I’m going down a bit of a rabbit hole wondering how much draw an Instant Pot would take off our solar generator… which I might test tomorrow because now I need to know. Update: our solar generator was not strong/powerful enough to run the instapot. A bummer in the event we would need to cook without access to gas/electric/open fire. Why this matters This isn’t about fear. It's about removing friction when things get hard or inconvenient.

@Karl Heinz absolutely. There are so many ways this can be done and modified to dietary needs, taste preferences, budget, etc.
Emergency Broadcast System...
HIYA BEAUTIFUL BEINGS ❤️ So I made a video saying that the Emergency Broadcast System was probably closer than ever... it got taken down. I've talked about this many times on my channel over the years. My goal is never to induce fear or make you panic. But with everything that's been happening in the world, it would make sense for this to be the next thing to hit. I haven't gone crazy when it comes to preparation but I have gotten a few canned foods like soup and tuna, just in case grocery stores get a little crazy... I wanted to know what you guys think, have you gotten any supplies, do you believe this is probable? I hope you have all been well 🥰 I am working on something SUPER exciting that I hope I get to launch before the ebs 😅

We were NEVER preppers or deeply aware of what was going on around - living in a beautiful matrix bubble until we were mid-2021, and while we aren't extreme preppers, we certainly are more prepared than most in our circle. Geographically, we are located in a really bad spot here on the East Coast - close to Philadelphia, NYC, and DC. Should things pop off, I'd rather be sitting on a stockpile than elbowing people in line. At this point, I think anything and everything is probable. I joke that we are in "situational awareness" season now that it is getting warmer and more people are out, but the masses are still walking with earbuds + heads down in their cell phones. Especially the number of women we pass each morning on our walks, who aren't paying attention to what's around them, is concerning. We are continually rotating our pantry, freezings, and go-bags as well as working on more self-reliance in the forms of gardening, bread making, food preservation, and bushcraft, which comes in handy when we are camping. One of my projects this month is to make a kit for power outages here at home. We are on an old grid and lose power on a sunny - no chem trail, 70 degree day more often than in a storm - piecing together more items for a power outage than an all-out bug-in or bug-out scenario. Oddly, all of our prepping has made me feel more at peace.
Just Existing
Nice to meet everyone. I’ve been awake, realizing this Matrix since 2015. Then Trump came along; and I had a strong sense that he was good and could lead America down the right path. Election in 2016; I don’t know how I knew but I detested Hillary. I didn’t know why. I cried so hard when Trump won; feeling like we missed a bullet there. Then all of this exposure of her evil came trickling out and so much more. I dove deeper watching truthers on Rumble, and YouTube. Heard about Gesara/Nesara. Then little by little we started seeing these theories come to light and be real . I have such a hard time enjoying life now. I feel like there is no meaning or reason. Why work, why watch tv, why do anything. Can’t have conversations with people, I’m more quiet then ever now. Just feel like I’m existing. Waiting for something that maybe will never come. Just existing.

Oh, Kimberly… I completely feel where you are. A few years ago, I went down some rabbit holes that really shifted how I saw everything, and I haven’t been the same since, in a good way, but also in a way that felt really isolating at first. It was hard to explain any of it to my parents and my husband. For weeks, I would just share little bits here and there, trying not to overwhelm them. Some of it landed, some of it didn’t, and eventually I realized my circle is my circle, and that’s okay. I still struggle sometimes being out in public, overhearing conversations, and just feeling like I’m seeing things a little differently. It can feel exhausting, especially when you try to share more with people and they look at you like you’ve lost it… until time passes and things start to make more sense to them. Because of that, I’ve pulled back a lot. I’ve gone more inward instead of constantly consuming. I have a few sources I trust on Telegram, but I’ve stepped away from most of the noise, especially on IG. It just started to feel like too much. And I’ve definitely had those moments of thinking… what’s the point of building anything, launching anything, or even focusing on my business with everything going on? But I keep coming back to this, quitting on myself isn’t an option. So I keep going. Quietly. In my own way. And honestly, being an introvert helps. I joke that I’m allergic to small talk, and most days I’d rather just be with my dog anyway. You’re not alone in this, even if it feels like it sometimes 🤍
Anybody else feel like this?
Now that I’m aware, every time I catch myself scrolling, I’m disappointed in myself. Lately all I see to want to do is just sit around and consume and not create and I just can’t seem to get out of the funk 😞 anyone have any tips

I was feeling very similar to you in January and February… lots of doom scrolling and slipping into comparison. I finally checked my screen time and it kind of stopped me in my tracks. Way more hours than I expected. And of course my first thought was, “well… I have a business, I have to be online.” But if I’m honest, a lot of that time wasn’t actually productive. So I started looking into how other business owners are pulling back from being online all the time, and I came across the idea of creating a personal curriculum… and it just clicked for me. There are so many things I’ve been curious about, but I’ve been defaulting to scrolling instead. So I picked 5 areas to focus on:homemaking, gardening & plants, health & wellness, cooking & preservation, and my creative business (without seeking validation for it). Basically, all of the analog granny hobbies :) My brain definitely wanted to add 40 more things 😅 but I’m keeping it simple on purpose. What I didn’t expect was realizing how much of my creativity and intuition I’d been kind of… ignoring. Not gone, just not being used. We have to give ourselves some grace here. These platforms are designed to pull us in and keep our attention. That’s not a personal failure. But we do get to choose where we put our time next 🤍 Also… please don’t think I have this all figured out. I’m barely a week into this. But I can say this, this weekend felt more productive and more like me than any weekend I’ve had so far this year.
Unplugging from social media while scaling business
Hi beautiful friends, I’m Amanda. I originally found Laura’s content on Telegram, which sent me on a quest to find her on other platforms, and I’m genuinely grateful it did. I’ve been “awake” for quite a few years now, and I’ll be honest, it’s becoming harder to keep one foot in the matrix while navigating work and everyday life. I’m incredibly grateful to be self-employed, which I have been for over two and a half decades, but I’ve hit a ceiling in my business. I continually struggle to find my footing on social media as I want to pivot slightly, and the perceived “requirement” to show up online has become a real drain on my mental capacity to create and fully show up for my clients. And truthfully, with platforms feeling as slanted as they do, I don’t want to be a player in their narrative. Of course, I’d be foolish to say these platforms are entirely bad. After all, it’s how I found Laura and this community. At the same time, it feels contradictory to pour energy, time, and creative work into systems that currently feel more harmful than helpful, rather than being used for genuine good. I wish I had a clear answer or a deeper rationale to share. I’m still trying to figure out how to navigate business growth and scaling alongside platforms that don’t fully align with me personally, without becoming dependent on them, while still acknowledging the reach and potential they hold. I’m grateful to be in this space with you all and to have conversations with those who understand how this can feel. If any of you have wrestled with this, I’d truly love to hear how you navigate it. 🤍

@Kayla Adkins, I am so sorry this happened to you. And, while I haven't been on the receiving end of what you experienced (especially at a young age), your experience is why I struggle with these platforms. I am glad that you found your way here to a community of like-minded souls.
